1st Annual New Jersey State Police Girl Scout Expo
Saturday, October 7, 2006

National Guard Training Facility, Sea Girt

This Expo is a new initiative between the New Jersey State Police and eleven New Jersey Girl Scout Councils that is sure to give your Girl Scouts the unique opportunity to meet State Troopers, a Gold Award winner, and learn why the New Jersey State Police is the most diverse law enforcement agency in the nation.

Girl Scout Troops will be exposed to a number of State Police resources such as: Urban Search & Rescue, Emergency Management, Bomb Squad, Narcotic and Organized Crime Bureau, Electronic Surveillance Unit, Street Gangs Unit, Counter Terrorism, marine Police Unit, Tactical Equipment, composite Drawing, Physical Training and In formation Technology.

They will tour the Forensics Lab, meet the Helicopter Pilots, have the opportunity to drive (those 16 and older) an obstacle course with impairment glasses (under 16 will ride with a Trooper driving). To complete the day there was a special presentation from the TEAMS (swat) Unit in conjunction with the Helicopter team.

Along with numerous New Jersey State Troopers there will be a number of high profile guests.
